Christianity is like driving a car with God as your navigator.  You get in the car and don't know exactly where you are going, but God gives you directions.  Sometimes He tells you far in advance what to do; sometimes it's last minute instructions.  The only way to get to your destination is to follow what God says, otherwise, you will get lost.  You have to give your navigator your complete trust that He knows where He's going and knows how to get there.  Ignoring His directions and finding your own path just doesn't work.  But God gave you the wheel and the choice to either listen to Him, or go your own way.  He's there to help.  Because He's the only one who knows the way.  Will you trust Him to guide you, or will you try to find the way yourself?
